Today was the first performance for our Kids Unlimited dancers at the studio. It was our annual Showgroup Show. It is held at the dance studio and this year we had 2 shows and the parents sold taco plates in between the shows. (they were fabulous) The show consisted of 25 dances, tap, lyrical, contemporary, jazz and hip-hop. The dancers did a great job. Way to kick off the 2010 Competition Season!!

Matt got a new toy today, yes a remote control car. He has been talking about it for a couple of weeks and he went out and bought one today. He is such a kid at heart. Mikaela loves it :)

Look who got a hair cut today. Mikaela loved going to Cool Cuts 4 Kids to get her hair trimmed. She gets to sit in a toy car, watch a movie and gets a pop pop. This place is great.

I tired a new recipe for dinner tonight. I get emails from Kraft Foods and they always have recipes that sound delicious, so I tried one of their BBQ pork chop recipes. Matt and I cooked it together which was nice while Mikaela played in the den. We then sat at the table and enjoyed our dinner together. Matt and I decided that a few things could be changed with the recipe but we are definately going to try it again.

This is a new application that Matt and I have on our iPhone that we
love. It is called Words With Friends. It is basically a crossword
game that you play against family, friends or a stranger. Currently
we both usually have games going against each other, Andy, Rachael and
Matt's mom. It is a great ap to have if you have an iPhone or iPod Touch. (or even if you are thinking about getting the new iPad that was unveiled today by Apple.

This is a picture looking at Matt's screen against me.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BODIE!!!!

Bodie is our Brittany Spanial that Matt and I got in 2007. He is a very happy, energetic dog and is doing much better with his commands lately. Miakela really loves to feed Bodie and give Bodie a treat.

THREE THINGS ABOUT BODIE:

1. Whenever you tell him to get on his rug, he will run from wherever he is do a circle then sit on his rug.

2. He enjoys relaxing in "his" chiar.

3. Loves to eat ice.

Today was the first day of the Spring 2010 semester at CSULB. I have been blessed to have taught here at CSULB since Spring 2005. I have taught 4 different levels of jazz in the past 5 years, but this semester I am teaching a section of Beginning Jazz, a section of Intermediate/Advanced Jazz along with section of Advanced Jazz. Every semester begins and I have an overwellming feeling, a feeling that reminds me how blessed I am to be able to share my passion of dance with others. I am so thankful for my job at CSULB. (thanks Andy Vaca).
